NHS is generally an ok employer. Depending on what Band you are. Time off is good and great perks such as sick pay, maternity pay etc. can be long hours at times

Team Support Worker (Clinical) (Current Employee) - Stockton-on-Tees - 29 June 2022

The hardest job I’ve ever done emotionally but the reward of helping people in their darkest hour and working with great people is great and although some days can be long and stressful the good days outweigh the bad

Pros

Making a difference

Cons

Long hours

Great

Account Manager (Current Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 27 June 2022

Pretty enjoyable, good employer… happy where I am, still have the flexibility to work from home, which is a big plus due to the price of parking which is extremely expensive

Pros

Free lunches

Cons

Long hours

Busy but the good kind

Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Stockport, Greater Manchester - 27 June 2022

Pros

Lunch discount

Long days

Great workplace!

Clerical Administrator (Current Employee) - Northampton, Northamptonshire - 24 June 2022

I’ve worked a little in the private sector and working for the NHS imo has really good benefits, better than private for me. Excellent amount of holidays given each year, flexibility around childcare and working from home. Overall I feel very job secure working for the NHS.

Could be better

111 Health Advisor (Former Employee) - Wakefield - 21 June 2022

The workplace wasn’t too bad, however, if your face fits you’ll get favouritism over the other people who work twice as hard. There is no problem solving either. If someone has an issue with you the managers just tell you to keep away from each other. There’s hardly any recognition either.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

You’re expected to work 3 weekends of out 4

Good place to work as a team

Responsibilities

Courier Driver (Former Employee) - Radlett, Hertfordshire - 15 June 2022

Reasonable place to work. Uniform provided, good vehicles. Long lead in time from interview to placement with lots of duplication of personal information required. Wages too low considering the fact that the driver has to deal with patients in the mental health system. Office staff are paid more.

Cons

Wages should be better.

Horrible

Staff Nurse (Current Employee) - Gloucester, Gloucestershire - 14 June 2022

Horrible place to work, bullying culture. Lots of room for progression but jobs are given based on who you know not what you know. Staff are not appreciated at all, never praised when doing well but management are quick to point fingers when things not so good.

Pros

good annual leave after a few years. good pension

Cons

Overworked. Underpaid

Fast paced, great benefits, nice colleagues

Receptionist/Administrator (Current Employee) - Edinburgh - 8 June 2022

Great place to work, good benefits ie pension/sick pay etc. Work life balance. Would say that more room for progression is needed if you want to move up the ladder.

Unprofessional, not stable

NHS 111 Health Advisor- Covid Vaccine Booking Line - Work from Home (Former Employee) - Remote - 7 June 2022

Managers arrogant, unhelpful, was promised 3 months, but let go after 2 weeks without any notice. Not good if u have bills to pay and family to support. They should give more notice before letting go, allowing time to find another job

Good and bad

Doctor (Former Employee) - North West - 6 June 2022

The good - you actually have a secure job, with benefits, NHS pension. The philosophy of the NHS as a free healthcare provision at point of need is beautiful.Cons - the NHS is a congested system. Probably free healthcare getting too loftier a goal to reach. Or probably intentional jeopardising of the system by people in high places. Trickles down to a place filled with stifling bureaucracy, poor job satisfaction and low pay.

Too long hours

Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Basingstoke - 30 May 2022

The hours are too long, the help is not there from management when you need it. The other staff are amazing, it's the office & senior staff that are no good.

Service desk engineer

NHS service desk (Former Employee) - Merseyside - 30 May 2022

Really good training provided and can go at your own pace, with the market paying higher for similar jobs that’s where you will struggle to retain staff.
